FG to just do nothing for the next 5 years.

So, it’s really FG you have a problem with.

There are thousands of people who are relying on the Covid payment. Are you suggesting that we continue paying it forever and ever just because they’re unwilling to upskill? Or is it just those employed in the Arts that deserve our generosity?

Maire,a chroí, all these lads want is a platform to pelt shït at anything the Govt. and especially FG do to keep us all safe.

The reason, cause, logic , result of the decisions mean nada to these lads, it’s just keeping the window open to pelt merde that matters.

So I wouldn’t bust your stays trying to produce any logical responses.

In fairness anyone,who was in tramore,dunmore east or dungarvan over weekend,knows by now....that the whole restrictions thing is being ignored,wholescale


(If i wasnt poor health,i would too,so ive no intention of critising anyone,but its head in sand stuff to think...people are still buying in fully)

I was in Dunmore East a few days ago and couldn't believe it, it was the busiest I've seen it. The bars were serving like nothing ever happened, not a bite of food to be seen. One in particular which is popular for people sitting outside had people about 10 deep drinking, so close they were touching.

I was told the Guards had come in the previous week, observed this, then warned the patrons "we'll be back" and never returned. Not sure what that strategy achieves.

This is very simple. The members of Dáil Eireann elect the Taoiseach, not anyone else.

Comparing the rank and file of a political party to a shadowy untrustworthy cabal and a "hardcore element" is a curious way to view things.

But hey, Leo the brave is a sacred cow among many contributors here. You're welcome to your line of thought, I don't share it.

I never called them untrustworthy and paid up members of a political party are essentially by definition the "hardcore" support. The fact that you have no idea who the members are would appear to be a pretty good definition of "shadowy" also.

The members of Dáil Eireann elect the Taoiseach and more members of DE wanted Varadkar for the job. Having party membership decide leadership is a relatively new phenomenon here and in the UK and so far the results of that have not been good.

This is nothing to do with Leo being a "sacred cow". The ridiculous assertion that he was undemocratically put into his role was being tossed around and it is baseless.

Yep. She has said that anyone unemployed should be seeking work or upskilling in order to make themselves employable. Be they actors, musicians, singers, airline stewards, pilots, oncourse bookies, bar staff, so on, so fort, etc. You know, like many thousands of us have had to do down the years.

She explained a bit more than that and you know it.
Heather is the latest member of gov to engage mouth before brain thus neccessitating apology and clarification.

I'm unwilling to continue to repeat myself.
What part of while their industry is closed/during the pandemic (the point of the payments) has you confused?
It's the arts she showed her ignorance on and the arts she spoke on. Would she tell the food service industry to quit their jobs/,careers and seek work somewhere else?

Whether you're an artist, a nurse, a doctor, am engineer a milkman or a shepherd; if for any reason your job/career becomes worthless you gotta move and you gotta move quickly. Otherwise you get left behind. That is the way of the world. Otherwise "Cat Gut Spinner/ Pig Jobber etc" would still be a career.

She is saying that anyone who finds themselves unemployed for any reason should retrain, upskill or find alternative employment. This isn’t just those in receipt of a Covid related payment, but ALL unemployment payments. There is no known date for the end of the pandemic.
Brian Kennedy said ‘I have been a musician for over 20 years, I have never not done music. I don’t think I would know how to not be a musician.’ How does he know if he doesn’t try. After spending 20odd years on a production line, I didn’t think that I’d ever be able to get a job in Admin. But, after a bit of training, I did.

Maybe but I am also exhibiting the same in depth knowledge and sensitivity to the arts that Covid 19 has.

Plenty of people might think that Brian might have spent his time better as a plumber or a Solicitor - unlike his brother Bap

Completely agree. Yourself and Maryanne are correct. However, I was talking about what HH said regarding the Arts as an industry.
What Maryanne can't grasp and you seem to have missed is HH was disrespectful to an entire industry. Should all pubs close and let staff go? Should teachers quit teaching, get a job in Tescos and when schools re-open re-apply from scratch?
We're not talking coopers or type setters ffs.

Thanks be to Hesu, we are near the bottom of the barrel now.

Only other level we can have is ‘person who played snooker with FG member accused of money laundering offenses’

And then tried to weld it to ‘FG involved in money laundering scam’


This is what I keep saying, all these lads want is a free platform to pelt shïte, however tenuous at FG.

There’s your proof........:cool:

Ah no, just normal for the times.

They won’t be dragged out of their homes ,shot in the head ,and dumped on the side of the road, if that’s what you were hoping for.
